We are live! Starting with GGXXAC+R

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

I am very open about the fact that I was a degenerate gambler during college and the poker boom and even I would not touch sports betting with a 30ft pole. This shit should be outlawed in every facet. Sports betting literally does nothing but ruin lives.

I know we have unfortunately normalized some very twisted things in this nation due to where it's gone. I am begging, pleading with everyone, do not let this massive ring of child trafficking and sexual abuse be normalized. There is no coming back from treating this as "another scandal".

Made it to grandmaster in 2XKO. It definitely felt more challenging than in the beta.

Remember, many votes are not for a candidate but are for change. When times are bad, people want something different, not because of ideology, but simply because “this sucks, let’s try something else.” If things don’t improve, officials may find they are in a similar spot as their predecessors.

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

I put together a little visual synergy doc for Darius and Illaoi. #2XKO #2XKO_Darius #2XKO_Illaoi www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzmS...

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

“We are facing the gravest danger of nuclear war that has existed on the planet since the end of the Cold War, and possibly worse than it was during the Cold War,” says nuclear disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand.

Just lost my election as the Mayor of Dale. My opponent said my 2% wealth tax on Smaug the Terrible was communism, and spread a rumor that I wanted to spend some of the money on healthcare for Dwarves. Anyway, now they shutting down the program that gives bread to the poor to pay for new ballroom.

This is extremely dangerous and likely to escalate tensions dramatically. I’m worried we’re getting closer and closer to extinction-level calamity.

President Trump says the U.S. will “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s. Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that “our luck is going to run out at some point.”

Criminalizing what is basically an ideology seems like a blatant example of the government trying to control how you think. This feels like a modern day red scare scenario. www.npr.org/2025/10/28/n...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

What most people don't realize is that the vast, VAST majority of people on SNAP are working full time jobs. Often times they are working *multiple* jobs. It's never about being lazy, or wanting handouts, it's about class warfare and the rich destroying everything. Just like it always is.

The federal government shutdown continues. Republicans and Democrats appear no closer to an agreement to end it. Many federal workers are missing full paychecks and don't know when they will resume.

96 Years Ago Today: Stock Market Invincible

The Constitution is not self-enforcing. The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms. And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People. No one is coming to save us. It's entirely up to us.

I worry there’s a lot of discussion around what the government is doing without much talk about what a government is supposed to be doing. So, I want to take a stab at changing that: I think the purpose of a government is to protect and preserve the autonomy of its people. #government #ethics

Summarizing the 3 main ethical theories in one skeet: Virtue ethics: Right action is what is most reasonable in a context. Utilitarianism: Greatest good for the greatest number. Maximize happiness. Kantianism: Do as the good will would do. And the good will respects the autonomy of all. #ethics

Our age is full of advanced technology and weapons that are terrifying if misused. But our philosophy and ethics among much of the public haven’t advanced far past the dark ages, and the rich and powerful are full of those who seek only more power and control. Now is the time of monsters, indeed.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to seat newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva is preventing a key vote on the release of the Epstein files. For the Republican Party, "the protection of pedophiles is above the protection of the children of this country," says colleague @ramirez.house.gov.

The group that cries foul about over-the-top political rhetoric is trying equate protesting Trump’s authoritarianism with “hating America.” Hypocrites. This country was founded on a rejection of authoritarians like kings and it’s pro-American to protest them. apnews.com/article/no-k...

Are Republicans refusing to swear in Democratic representative-elect Adelita Grijalva to prevent a vote on the Epstein files?

I don’t like to think of US politics as a game where one team “wins” and the other “loses.” I think of it in terms of what would benefit Americans, versus what would only benefit a person or a party. Extending the health care subsidies would help Americans. No clue why this is controversial.

If you ever think the state of the union is beyond hope or repair. Keep in mind that that the masked pissbabies who want to act tough and beat non-white people are being out maneuvered by regular citizens in inflatable frog suits. These are the heroes, the real strength, fascism is run by cowards.
